“…Targeting NETosis or degrading existing NETs (or associated mechanistic pathways) has been extensively investigated in many disease models associated with NETs and thrombosis. [27][28][29][30] NETosis starts from the activation of NADPH oxidase (NOX) complex via protein kinase C (PKC)-Raf/MERK/ERK by external stimuli, followed by activation of MPO, NE, and PAD4. PAD4 is an enzyme that catalyzes citrullination of histones and promotes chromatin de-condensation with reactive oxygen species (ROS) to induce gradual separation and loss of the nuclear membrane.…”
